@Scaramanga - i'm thinking somewhere around 6th, Hicky especially and Harrison I think have a little more to come and there's new faces coming up, lapping at low 130's in ideal conditions won't get a podium if the usual suspects finish the race. John seemed to have pulled all the stops out last time he won but the game/speeds and his age have moved on since then. The Kawasaki is a fast bike and looks like it steers well out there so will be good to see how fast John can pedal it.
